xrays911 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Hi, I have a Sandevices Pixel One controller that I purchased a couple years ago. I have been using it in Multicast Mode all along. The device is set with its default static IP of 192.168.1.206. My PC has always been set with a static IP of 192.168.1.52. I use a switch as a central point between the two devices. The controller functions pretty good in Multicast mode with this set-up, but we do experience a little lag. It was suggested to me that I should move this into Unicast mode because Unicast mode is more efficient. So I went in my LOR network configs and changed from Multicast to Unicast (see attached screen shot). I then closed the LOR app completely and restarted the control panel. Now when I try to run a sequence I get nothing from that device. The comm listener appears to still see the device (see attached screen cap). I verified the settings in the controller set-up page (see yet another screen cap). I'm lost. Not sure what could be causing the lack of communication. Does anyone have any ideas? I really appreciate everyone's time! Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 You need to change the Sandevices board to also use uni-cast. Unless you changed that, it's still looking for multi-cast traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrays911 Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 Thanks Jim, How do I do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrays911 Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 I got this figured out and wanted to put it out there for anyone who may be experiencing the same issue. I took at look at the Sandevices website and found they have a new firmware release which allows you to easily change from Multicast to Unicast! I updated the firmware and it works like a charm!

k6ccc Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Ah, it makes sense that you did not see it. You stated the board was several years old and I would assume it had version 2.xxx firmware which did not support unicast. Glad you got the firmware update and figured out the unicast. Version 4 is far easier to work with in my opinion too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougd Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) You need to update the firmware on the board. Oops. Last post poped in while I was sending this. Edited March 6, 2015 by dougd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Messer Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 After reading the op setup it brings a question into my mind. Does the computer IP have to be higher than the device ip? Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
